The iBasso DX50 is a HiFi digital audio player that utilises a Wolfson WM8740 DAC to produce high fidelity audio, it also comes equiped with a 2.4" IPS touch screen. The DX50 will please audiophiles with its high quality sound, portability, ability to drive very demanding headphones and its price as it is cheaper than almost all other similar players.

The iBasso DX50 uses a modern and sleek design with a brush aluminium front and back, a very clean 2.4" IPS touch screen and 3 recessed physical buttons which act as the rewind, play and forward. On the bottom of the device there is a headphone out and line out.

The DX50 features a gain switch which has 3 settings; low, medium and high and a coaxial line out which is a standard 3.5mm jack style connection. On the top of the unit there is a MicroSD card slot so you can increase the standard 8GB memory capacity and a Micro USB connection for charging or the OTG function which allows you to attach some portable hard disks (provided they are self-powered) for even larger music collections on the go.

On the right side of the unit the volume control switch allows you to step the volume up in steps totalling 256 which gives you ultimate control of the output volume. On the left side of the unit there is a sleep/wake power button and a lock switch.

The DX50 not only supports most of the audio codecs, FLAC, WAV, APE, (DSD via firmware update) etcs are all supported, but it also features a 24bit 192 khz Wolfson WM8740 audiophile grade DAC chipset, with Coax output features, a line out feature (Which bypasses the internal headphone amplifier section), a tremendous battery life and easily replaceable battery.
